Stars coming out for Rose's event

Chicago Sun-Times: The respect Jalen Rose enjoys from his peers is reflected 
in the rosters for his star-studded charity basketball game Sunday at the 
United Center. 

Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics, Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns and 
rookie Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets are among those who have committed to 
the game, which begins at 3 p.m. Also scheduled to participate are Gilbert 
Arenas and Jerry Stackhouse of the Washington Wizards, Richard Hamilton of the 
Detroit Pistons and rookie T.J. Ford of the Milwaukee Bucks, as well as several 
of Rose's Bulls teammates, including Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry and Tyson 
Chandler. 

Rose was hoping Scottie Pippen would be able to play, but it doesn't appear 
his schedule will allow him to be in town this weekend. 

Rose and Tim Hardaway co-hosted a game last year that drew more than 19,000 
fans. Rose decided to boost the entertainment value this year by adding singing 
sensation Ashanti as the halftime show. Rose also convinced his friend Cedric 
''The Entertainer'' to put on a comedy show, which will be held Saturday 
night at the Auditorium Theater. 

Proceeds from both events will benefit Chicago public schools, juvenile 
diabetes research, Special Olympics of Illinois, the Chicago Coalition for the 
Homeless and the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Fans attending the game are 
encouraged to bring new school supplies to donate at the door.   


<< BTW, here's a small piece of news that the papers didn't report.  Not only 
is 
 Banks in Chicago working out with Walker this week, so is Pierce.  The three 
 of them are also supposed to spend next week working out together in L.A >>
